Traditional steam cleaning often saturates carpets with large amounts of water and cleaning solutions. This can lead to prolonged drying times and create an environment where mold and mildew can thrive. In contrast, Chem-Dry’s innovative Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) process was designed to provide a deep clean with significantly less water, offering a smarter way to refresh your home.
The Science Behind Chem-Dry’s Cleaning Process
What makes the Chem-Dry method so effective without relying on excessive water? The answer lies in the power of carbonation.
Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE)
Unlike steam cleaning, which often pushes dirt deeper into the carpet with high-pressure water, HCE uses millions of tiny, powerful bubbles to work dirt loose from the carpet fibers. These carbonated bubbles get deep into the carpet, gently lifting dirt particles to the surface where they can be easily whisked away. This process is inspired by the way club soda can lift stains from fabric.
The Natural® Cleaning Solution
To create these bubbles, we use our proprietary cleaning solution, The Natural®. This carbonated solution cleans effectively without the need for harsh detergents. By avoiding these types of chemicals, we help ensure your carpets get a deep clean without leaving behind any dirt-attracting compounds.
How a Low-Water Approach is Better
Using less water than typical steam cleaning methods has several important advantages for your home and carpets.
1. Conserve Water
Water conservation is a growing priority for many communities. By choosing Apex Chem-Dry for carpet cleaning in Hershey, you are making a choice that helps reduce water consumption. Our low-water process saves gallons of water with every cleaning session and produces less wastewater, which eases the burden on local water treatment systems.
2. Faster Drying Times
With traditional cleaning methods, carpets can take days to dry completely. During this time, you have to avoid walking on them, and the lingering dampness can be a major inconvenience. Since Chem-Dry uses far less water, your carpets dry in just a few hours, not days. This means your family can get back to enjoying your home sooner, with minimal disruption to your daily routine. More importantly, faster drying times prevent the growth of mold and mildew, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.
3. Prolongs the Lifespan of Your Carpets
Excessive water can be tough on carpets. It can weaken the carpet’s backing and damage the fibers over time. Some steam cleaners use so much water that they push dirt deeper into the carpet pile instead of removing it. This trapped dirt can act like sandpaper, breaking down carpet fibers with everyday foot traffic. Apex Chem-Dry’s low-water method gently lifts and removes dirt, which helps maintain your carpet’s appearance and structural integrity for years to come.
